Send a cheque?

I don't know about other places, but here there's no bank that will turn that slip of paper into real money. I've never even seen a cheque or chequebook in person, it's almost exclusively mentioned by Americans (In my experience)

I got a cheque for $5 once. It would have cost about $40 to cash it.
